hey back to your sit-in you vegan!!

LOL I like red meat and fried something or other to.

When the Virago came out, Yamaha also made a sport/tourer with the 900 V-twin. It sold big in Europe, but not here. All I remember is that instead of shaft-drive, it had an enclosed chain. I still wonder how you would check the slack on an enclosed chain?
